Dionysus

Poetry's finesse, and culture's glaze
Hopelessness with helplessness, and resurrect my pain
Show the secrets kept within your head
Tell me all of everything,
And sate within words' nothingness...
Half-eaten chocolate box,
Lingerie mixed in with the socks
And keep vindictive hope alive
The picture-perfect hopeless bride
And guarded hearts and sharpened tongue
And still last breath within my lungs
And so the death begins.
Tie in my hope and your sins
And shatter normalcy
Conquer my freedom, then set free
Why can't I stand to hate you?
Illusion's disillusion,
Be my Bacchus, and to hades banish me...
This treasure-trove of love's captivity...

Oooo, a great one here. I love the imagery and the greek reference here as well. I was very fond of the line:" And guarded hearts and sharpened tongues." It shows the willingness to keep what's ours but not risk anything to get it, and fiercely protect it with our words and deeds. A good write.
